Correct. That will cause MS-MPPE-Send-Key and MS-MPPE-Recv-Key to be sent by 
Radiator to the AP in the Access-Accept, allowing the AP to establish 
encrypted communications with the supplicant (which has independently 
calculated its own copy of the encryption keys)

I have had much trouble with WPA and xsupplicant. I suspect that success all 
depends on exactly which wireless card you use.
